Sounds and Words
Description
This course is an exploration in the structure of speech sounds. We will deal with with phonetics (how sounds are made or perceived by humans), phonology (how sounds are distributed across different languages) and morphology (how sounds combine to make meaningful units in a language). The goal of the course is to equip students with some of the basic tools necessary to conduct speech sound analysis of any language or linguistic variety.

Language and Society in New Zealand and Beyond
Description
What do babies know about language when they're born? And how do our experiences as we get older affect both how we use language and what we think about other people's language behaviour? Why, for example, do people think some languages, or some dialects, are 'better' than others? And is there any truth behind such beliefs? In this course we consider a range of research from the field of linguistics that addresses these and other questions. The role of language experience will emerge as a recurrent theme: the experience that the infant has with a particular language; how our early experience with language affects how we speak and how we listen, and how our beliefs about language are created and maintained in connection to other experiences in our social lives.

Grammatical structure
Description
This course introduces grammatical structures ranging from clauses to sentences to paragraphs. These layers of structure are essential parts of how languages encode meaning. The goal of the course is to understand both the range of syntactic structures that are found in language as well as the ways in which these structures express meaning.

Language and Social Justice
Description
How can we use linguistic evidence to solve crimes? What does linguistic analysis tell us about legal language? In this course, students learn how to use linguistics for forensic purposes. What can a piece of spoken or written language tell us about its authors? Can linguistic analysis expose inequalities in the legal system? What are the implications of using linguistic evidence for commercial or defense purposes?

Linguistics Research Project
Description
This course supports students to conduct their own empirical research project. Students will design their own research, and write a research paper reporting on their novel findings. The course will begin with orientation to New Zealand English, and learning about some empirical studies that have been done on this variety. Students will then develop their own empirical research question, using the New Zealand Institute of Language Brain and Behaviour's internationally renowned corpora, or by collecting their own data using a questionnaire or language experiment. Course content will be adapted to suit student interests, and the class will work together as a group to support the development of each other's projects.
